All the Hilarious Things Ikea Frakta Bags Are Being Turned Into

The Ikea Frakta bag — yes, the electric blue tote bag that the Scandinavian furniture retailer sells for $0.99 — is quickly becoming the hottest bag of the season.

The frenzy began when designer Balenciaga created a $2,145 version of the iconic Ikea bag. Though the designer called it an "Arena Extra-Large Shopper Tote Bag," there was no denying that the bright blue carryall was a dead ringer for the plastic shopping bag — save for having "Ikea" emblazoned in yellow on the handles. The internet went wild over the imitation, so much so that Ikea issued a hilarious ad helping shoppers tell the difference between the designer fake and the real deal. (The tricks: Checking to see if it rustles, carries anything and everything, and rinses off with water when dirty.)

And now, the internet is wilding out over the Frakta once again — but this time, for its multi-functionality. As several super creative people have discovered, the Ikea bag can be used for much more than just carting around everything you own. In fact, the Ikea Frakta bag can be cut up and repurposed into a baseball hat, sneakers, sandals, a hoodie, and even a thong. (No word on how much chafing you'll endure with that one, though.)
